This is New Zealand

This is New Zealand

"This is New Zealand" is a documentary film showcasing New Zealand scenery that was produced by the New Zealand National Film Unit for screening at the World Expo in Osaka in 1970.

The film combined scenic images including aerial cinematography with rousing classical music such as Sibelius' Karelia Suite. Using then ground-breaking technology, the film required three separate but synchronised 35mm film projectors which projected their images onto an extra-wide screen.

In 2004/2005 Archives New Zealand commissioned a restoration at post production facility, Park Road Post. Hugh McDonald, the original director, was involved in the restoration and Kit Rollings, the original sound mixer assisted with the updated soundtrack.
